What is "gender microagression”?
It's when a guy kindly asks a woman to stop debating a technical spec because she wouldn't understand the details (even though she's more technical than he is).
It's when a sales guy makes a joke with his female colleague that her eye makeup is what is closing deals that day.
I've never once witnessed that second one and would be shocked if I did witness that. I've been around long enough that if that were still a problem, I would expect to have witnessed it firsthand.
I know the third happens (my sister is in sales and has been subjected to it).
Thanks for the explanation as it was a term I had no idea existed.
I think it's a combination of things... on the one hand there is outright descrimination and bias... on the other, society is leaning towards overtly sensitive to anything that could be considered insensitive or biased.
